238: Why is 2 Weeks Enough? | RecoverED

Welcome to the first episode of RecoverED. In this series we provide education on the disease of alcoholism, recovery, and TMH services. We hope these episodes serve as a valuable tool to help you better understand the alcoholic and our mission at The Magdalen House.  In this episode, our Director of Outreach & First Step (formerly known as Social Detox) alumna, Ainsley Chapman addresses the question "How is 2 weeks long enough to achieve sobriety?" She talks about the curriculum taught at The Magdalen House, the importance of building a string foundation, and how length of treatment doesn't matter if no action is taken after you leave. To receive more information on alcoholism and recovery, you can request a speaker at magdalenhouse.org/resources-and-education/education/for in-person and virtual presentations.
